Barbell Hip Thrusts

A fantastic compound exercise that helps stabilize the pelvis, lower back, and knees -

which makes it ideal for targeting low bone density in the hips and femur bones, aligning the knee joints, and promoting stronger glutes and better balance.

I love variations of this exercise as well, especially the Single Leg Dumbbell Hip Thrust - of which my clients are quite familiar with by now.

This exercise is great for diverse groups of individuals across ages and backgrounds.

100kg

Carmen and I have come a long way from where we started with training. Having to manage and work around their trapezius injury has posed many challenges within programming and exercise selection.

Cheryl Low's precise diagnosis of the root cause of a very chronic and pain-inducing injury, coupled with consistent training, has led Carmen to become much stronger, and on most days, completely pain-free.

This lift is the result of hours and hours of mobility work, rehab and conditioning. There's only more progress to come.

Super proud

Client testimonial

"I first decided to get personal training after I got to the heaviest I'd ever been in my life after a most delicious holiday in Japan.

Erik came highly recommended by my osteopath who was treating me for thoracic outlet syndrome, and I had been in pain for over a year. Working out was a large part of my life, and stopping was not an option.

Through his commitment to working around my injury, Erik displayed his qualifications in this field, and his creativity in programming and modifying exercises to ensure that I could work out without pain, but still do in a challenging fashion that would help me achieve my goals.
He is also flexible and understands nutrition.

I am gaining muscle, working out pain free and also sleeping better since I have less pain.

10/10 would recommend. People from all walks of life will benefit, but in particular people who are injured and think that they cannot do strength training, because Erik will find a way. Also people who may be terrified of the gym or starting strength training. Erik is very good at explaining the rationale behind every step you will take in the gym, or any questions you have with regard to nutrition. He's super easygoing and chill. No need scared."

Trap-3 Raises (chest supported)

This exercise is a brilliant way to improve the stability of the upper back and to support movements that load the upper body.

On top of that, this exercise is also great for increasing the range of motion in the shoulder on top of strengthening the muscles required for good posture.

Drop me a DM if you have any questions about exercises similar to this one or if you have any questions about your current training program.

Really happy with how far I've come with my own recovery since my bad shoulder injury in Dec 2020.

I've broken range limits that I had even before my injury and can perform exercises like full range dips without pain. Something I thought impossible post-injury.

I attribute this to mindful training and mobility work. Its crazy how much mobility work pays off when done right.

Walk better, run faster, jump higher ✅

The Tibialis Anterior is one of the primary muscles responsible for absorbing the forces applied in a heel strike.

By strengthening it, you not only prevent shin splints but you increase your ability to apply load through your ankles when you walk, run, and jump!

Super excited to have completed the OPEX Coaching Certification Program (CCP)!

I took this course to learn about individualising prescriptions so that my clients improve their quality of life through training, nutrition and lifestyle. 🏋‍♂ 🥦 🌞

Grateful for the clients and friends that have supported me throughout my career thus far. Looking forward to utilising the principles in OPEX to help my current and future clients feel and move better through fitness.

Special thanks to who introduced me to OPEX back in 2020.

Side Lying Powell Raises

A fantastic exercise to accompany your shoulder health routine.

The unique and complex anatomy of the shoulder make it the joint with the greatest range of motion, but the least stability.

That, in turn, makes it more susceptible to strain, repetitive injuries and aging than other joints.

How is your shoulder health?
